Old School RuneScape's latest update immerses you deeper into the tumultuous politics and infernal depths of Great Kourend, where an ancient and enraged entity has awakened. The new boss, Yama, Master of Pacts, is now live—a fire-engulfed minotaur demon who has been amassing power in the Chasm of Fire, biding his time to unleash chaos.
If you've completed the quest A Kingdom Divided (and tackled Royal Titans), this update picks up right where that left off. After confronting Yama’s Judge back in 2021, it was clear that wasn't the end. The true menace—sporting wings, horns, hooves, and wielding a formidable two-handed axe—has emerged. Yama is accompanied by the Disciples of Yama, a cult of fire-worshipping zealots willing to sacrifice themselves for their master.
This battle is tailored for high-level players. You'll need to have completed the quest, possess top-tier combat stats, and equip the best-in-slot gear to stand a fighting chance. The encounter can be faced solo or with a team. Upon defeating Yama, you'll gain access to new loot, including Demon Tallow for brewing Surge Potions, the Chasm of Fire Teleport Scroll, new Grimoire Pages, and a few other hidden treasures.
The Chasm of Fire has also been expanded, featuring a new area dedicated to mining and smithing. Here, you can extract Crimson Lovakite, a rare resource exclusive to this fiery abyss. With it, you can craft Oathplate, a new armor set that significantly enhances your late-game arsenal. Even if boss fights aren't your thing, the Chasm offers plenty of reasons to explore.
